distances. The light travels through the
core by constantly bouncing from
mirror-lined walls, known as the
cladding. Because the cladding does not
absorb any light from the core, the light
wave can travel great distances.
Upon importation, glass preforms for
optical fibers (‘‘optical glass preforms’’)
consist of glass rods of various sizes and
dimensions from which glass optical
fiber is fabricated. They are produced by
a two-step process. In the first step,
called Vapor Axial Deposition,
extremely fine dusts of silica
tetrachloride fuse into a rod when
drawn through an annealing furnace,
creating the core layer of the optical
glass preform. In the second step, the
cladding layer is added by fusing a layer
of silica dioxide powder to the outside
of the core rod. The result is that the
core and cladding of the optical glass
preform is made of visibly different
layers of glass because of their different
refractive indexes.
Heading 7002, HTSUS, provides for
‘‘Glass in balls (other than microspheres
of heading 7018), rods or tubes,
unworked’’. This is an eo nomine
provision that covers unworked glass
rods. Subheading 7002.20.10, HTSUS,
provides for ‘‘Rods: of fused quartz or
other fused silica’’. The 2009 column
one, general rate of duty for this
provision is free.
Heading 7020, HTSUS, provides for
‘‘Other articles of glass’’ and subheading
7020.00.60, HTSUS, provides for
‘‘Other’’. This is a basket provision that
provides for articles of glass not
otherwise covered in Chapter 70 of the
HTSUS. The 2009 column one, general
rate of duty under this provision is 5
percent ad valorem.
Heading 9001, HTSUS, provides for
‘‘Optical fibers and optical fiber
bundles; optical fiber cables other than
those of heading 8544; sheets and plates
of polarizing material; lenses (including
contact lenses), prisms, mirrors and
other optical elements, of any material,
unmounted, other than such elements of
glass not optically worked’’. Subheading
9001.10.00, HTSUS, provides for
‘‘Optical fibers, optical fiber bundles
and cables, and other’’. The 2009
column one, general rate of duty for this
provision is 6.7 percent ad valorem.
On April 21, 2006, CBP issued
Headquarters Ruling (HQ) 967058 to
Lucent Technologies regarding optical
glass preforms. In this ruling, CBP
concluded that the proper classification
is under subheading 7002.20.10,
HTSUS. CBP found that because the
manufacture of optical glass preforms is
a process that requires multiple steps,
the articles are not complete until the
desired layers are created and form a

pure, solid whole. Therefore, the
‘‘working’’ of glass articles occurs after
their creation.
Filing of Domestic Interested Party
Petition
On August 4th, 2006, Corning, a
manufacturer of optical glass preforms
in the U.S., filed a domestic interested
party petition, in accordance with
section 516, Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1516), requesting
that CBP reclassify imported optical
glass preforms in either of subheadings
7020.00.60 or 9001.10.00, HTSUS.
Corning’s challenge of CBP’s
classification of these optical glass
preforms turned on the issue of whether
the different glass refractions evidence
the existence of a glass core rod which
has been ‘‘worked’’ by the addition to it
of a layer of cladding glass.
On March 28, 2007, in accordance
with 19 CFR 175.21, CBP published a
Notice of Receipt of Domestic Interested
Party Petition filed by petitioner
Corning in the Federal Register (72 FR
14603). The notice invited written
comments on the petition from
interested parties until May 27, 2007.
Two comments were received in
response to this notice, both of which
concurred with CBP’s position that the
optical glass preforms described in HQ
967058 are classified in subheading
7002.20.10, HTSUS.
Decision on Petition and Notice of
Petitioner’s Desire To Contest
On July 14, 2008, CBP issued HQ
W968361, denying Corning’s Domestic
Interested Party Petition and satisfying
the requirements of 19 CFR 175.22(b) by
providing the petitioner with
notification that the classification of the
imported optical glass preforms was
found to be correct. CBP classified the
optical glass preforms based on its
finding that these goods are solid multilayered rods made from fused silica that
are unworked in their condition as
imported. This letter officially notified
the petitioner that ‘‘CBP correctly
classified the glass preform described in
HQ 967058, by application of GRI 1,
under heading 7002, HTSUS, and
specifically under subheading
7002.20.1000, as glass rods, unworked,
of fused quartz or other fused silica.’’
On August 6, 2008, Corning timely
provided CBP with notice of its desire
to contest HQ W968361 in the United
States Court of International Trade and
its desire to contest the liquidation of
entries of optical glass preforms at the
Port of Charlotte, North Carolina in
accordance with 19 U.S.C. 1516(c) and
19 CFR 175.23.

As required by both the applicable
statute and regulations, CBP is in receipt
of Corning’s letter, dated August 6,
2008, establishing the timely notice of
its desire to contest in the Court of
International Trade CBP’s decision letter
of HQ W968361 which held that the
classification of imported optical glass
preforms is under subheading
7002.20.10, HTSUS, as glass rods,
unworked, of fused quartz or other
fused silica.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with 24 CFR part 581 and
section 501 of the Stewart B. McKinney
Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C.
11411), as amended, HUD is publishing
this Notice to identify Federal buildings
and other real property that HUD has
reviewed for suitability for use to assist
the homeless. The properties were
reviewed using information provided to
HUD by Federal landholding agencies
regarding unutilized and underutilized
buildings and real property controlled
by such agencies or by GSA regarding
its inventory of excess or surplus
Federal property. This Notice is also
published in order to comply with the
December 12, 1988 Court Order in
National Coalition for the Homeless v.
Veterans Administration, No. 88–2503–
OG (D.D.C.).
Properties reviewed are listed in this
Notice according to the following
categories: Suitable/available, suitable/
unavailable, suitable/to be excess, and
unsuitable. The properties listed in the
three suitable categories have been
reviewed by the landholding agencies,
and each agency has transmitted to
HUD: (1) Its intention to make the
property available for use to assist the
homeless, (2) its intention to declare the
property excess to the agency’s needs, or
(3) a statement of the reasons that the
property cannot be declared excess or
made available for use as facilities to
assist the homeless.
Properties listed as suitable/available
will be available exclusively for
homeless use for a period of 60 days
from the date of this Notice. Where
property is described as for ‘‘off-site use
only’’ recipients of the property will be
required to relocate the building to their
own site at their own expense.
Homeless assistance providers
interested in any such property should
send a written expression of interest to
HHS, addressed to Theresa Rita,
Division of Property Management,
Program Support Center, HHS, room
5B–17, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville,

interested provider an application
packet, which will include instructions
for completing the application. In order
to maximize the opportunity to utilize a
suitable property, providers should
submit their written expressions of
interest as soon as possible. For
complete details concerning the
processing of applications, the reader is
encouraged to refer to the interim rule
governing this program, 24 CFR part
581.
For properties listed as suitable/to be
excess, that property may, if
subsequently accepted as excess by
GSA, be made available for use by the
homeless in accordance with applicable
law, subject to screening for other
Federal use. At the appropriate time,
HUD will publish the property in a
Notice showing it as either suitable/
available or suitable/unavailable.
For properties listed as suitable/
unavailable, the landholding agency has
decided that the property cannot be
declared excess or made available for
use to assist the homeless, and the
property will not be available.
Properties listed as unsuitable will
not be made available for any other
purpose for 20 days from the date of this
Notice. Homeless assistance providers
interested in a review by HUD of the
determination of unsuitability should
call the toll free information line at 1–
800–927–7588 for detailed instructions
or write a letter to Mark Johnston at the
address listed at the beginning of this
Notice. Included in the request for
review should be the property address
(including zip code), the date of
publication in the Federal Register, the
landholding agency, and the property
number.
